Most government job competitions—certainly for entry-level officer positions, and often for promotions as well—require candidates to submit a written statement-of-interest when applying. The length varies depending on the Department or Agency involved, and in some cases more than a single statement is demanded: one to explain your qualifications for the position, another for competencies you have demonstrated relevant to the work.

Our Statement of Interest Counselling helps you deliver what is needed. We assist you to make sense of the various government documents which refer to the position(s) you are seeking, provide a proven method to develop and construct your defining statement, send you a detailed editorial review of your initial draft, and conclude with personal telephone coaching on the final text before you submit it.

Counselling Overview

During the 2-hour session covering our pre-work and personal coaching you will benefit from:

• Informed advice on the purpose and evaluation of statements-of-interest
• Precise instruction on which government documents to rely on in planning your statement(s)
• An analytical framework which draws out your assets in relation to specific job requirements
  Tips on what to avoid including, and how to use your writing time and the space available to your advantage
  A detailed, annotated critique of your initial draft statement
  A telephone consultation to finalize your statement carefully before you submit it in the competition
